it would be good

we were meant to live for so much more
have we lost ourselves?
somewhere we live inside

dreaming about Providence
and whether mice or men have second tries
maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
maybe we're bent and broken

we want more than this world's got to offer
we want more than the wars of our fathers
and everything inside screams for second life

it would be good if i were a mayfly, year after year of being a larva, and then even more years as a pupa. adulthood would only last a year, twenty-four hours in mayfly days. my adult life would be a hedonistic search for sex, justified.

but what use is there in an "if only"? i second-guess myself again.this is such a letdown
